Intimate Warfare: The True Story of the Arturo Gatti and Micky

Intimate Warfare: The True Story of the Arturo Gatti and Micky Ward Boxing Trilogy

Intimate Warfare: The True Story of the Arturo Gatti and Micky Ward Boxing Trilogy traces the lives and careers of two legendary fightersâ€”Micky Ward, a humble, hardscrabble, blue-collar Irishman from Lowell, Massachusetts, and Arturo Gatti, a handsome, flashy, charismatic Italian-born star who was raised in Montreal. Dennis Taylor and John J. Raspanti paint a vivid portrait of these two fighters who ushered each other into boxing lore and formed an unlikely friendship despite their brutal battles in the ring. Gattiâ€™s life would end tragically and mysteriously just a few years later, but his name and Wardâ€™s remain tied together in boxing history.

In Intimate Warfare, each of the three spectacular fights between Gatti and Ward, two of which were named The Ring magazineâ€™s â€œFight of the Year,â€ are described in detail. Multiple photographs from the trilogy highlight the intensity and power of these epic collisions. With a foreword by former world champion and International Boxing Hall of Famer Ray â€œBoom Boomâ€ Mancini, this book will be of interest to all fans of boxing.
